Do floyd fans understand what a weight-penalty is?

[SplitSecond]

suddenly it's wrong to ask for a little intrest when your opponent "CHEATS"

but how this thread took this direction, well, there's this thing about stans and not being able to read

manny and his team knew erik was havin problems makin the weight thats why i don't feel like manny's wins against erik which are his best wins were that big a deal

fair point but thats not on the topic.

[baracuda]

he approached them like 2 days before the fight, and said he wasn't going to be able to make 144.......


according to oscar, the fight was ALWAYS a 147 fight, but since both guys accepted 144, floyd had to pay for every pound he was over 144.


mayweather didn't show up at the weigh-in, and come in overweight, he let them know a couple days in advance.


that "cheating" the scales ****, doesn't fly.

when you come in over the agreed weight, thats cheating on the scales.....floyd did'nt need to pay 600k jmm if he was'nt breaking the rules....

If the fight is at 144lb then you have a valid point. The fight is supposed to be at 147lbs. floyd has never come in over for a fight fought at the maximum weight. so it seems its not necessary. Can you understand that point?

[RubenSonny]

that dont really have anything to do with these negotiations. This is 2 different fighters and difference circumstances. I could argue why floyd asks for tests when he has never asked for them pryor to this fight. you understand we can go back and forth with this.

These are new negotiations. in this negotiations pac has the right because floyd has cheated before and pac has never been tested for drugs so he doesn't have to abide to floyds demands.

yeah but it proves his "i only abide by the commission rules" excuse is absolute bs

Whats poppin dude! Coach webb made a good point. Manny did the same to morales and cotto and they never came in over weight. I get your point but can you give a reason why he imposed the weight clause on fighters who haven't come in heavy?

He did, but not 10mil. Everybody, not just Pacquiao has weight clause on there fights. This just stands out because of the large amount per penalty. He just feels that Mayweather wants to get an advantage of him no matter what. Mayweather knows how to play the game. He plays the game not just inside the ring, but outside as well.

Manny just doesn't want to fight with somebody who will have a huge advantage on weight on him.

Do you know how many times Ariza feeds him a day just so he can keep his weight up. He forces him to eat.

the option was ALWAYS on the table, to come in as high as 147.


floyd made a choice, drain himself, or come in at his normal weight and pay a fine.



like i said, he approached marquez DAYS before the weigh-in, and let them know the deal.

everybody DOESN'T have a weight clause in their contracts.....usually it's up to the commission to discipline overweight fighters.

[The Gambler1981]

Floyd and his team said that was a welter weight fight the whole road up to the fight, if JMM and his team did not know the deal shame on them but since they litterally asked zero question about Floyd's weight I have to assume they did not care aslong as they got paid.


This begs the question if the man that got in the ring cared so little why should some pissant fans?


JMM is a stud though he cares about beating guys when they are at their best.

in other fights its the commission. In this case its the fighter. It seems manny negotiates catchweights and penalties aganst fighters he is not heavily favored against. He can do that when he is the man.
